It's like the two alien ships were ignoring each other until the Enterprise crew convinced the friendly aliens that it was the other guys who killed his people.

Why did't they attack both ships as soon as they arrived? For that matter why didn't the bad guys open fire on them as soon as they arrived, instead of waiting a few minutes for the other ship to attack them? Was everybody onboard busy running the tractor beam and nobody bothered to look out at the ship approaching them?

He he. That's funny.

Hey, we haven't even gotten to the problem of how everyone in the galaxy knows what sort of signal to send for the Federation's video hardware. A video signal is very complex, though most people have forgotten this after decades of tv in every home, business, cardboard box in the alley, and whatnot. Ever wonder just how every new contact can give them a video signal in perfect synch, and their camera just happens to be sensitive to the same fragment of the EM spectrum that human eyes are designed for?

At least every alien doesn't speak English anymore.

If you are refering to any kind of point of reference, yes any kind of intelegent life would be well "alian". Food who knows what they would requare. Shelter, would be a must. Beyond that let our imagination run wild. We have a hard time defining intelegence among our own species. My typos a case in point! LOL

Zero, I am pretty sure you are joking here. IIRC the climax of episode two was all based around the fact that the Enterprise crew couln't communicate with the other ship captain.

Urendi had a point here. I am not sure what you are basing your point on, Zero. But regardless of which point you agree with, I think we can safely say everyone is free to post on this forum regardless of whether or not they know anything about what they are talking about.

Let's not get this thread closed down too, ok?

Actually, its an optical illusion. The universal translator changes both the sound you hear and the image of the alien's mouth (if there is a mouth).
